Rollerskate Skinny Lyrics - Alive & Wired - Old 97's

Rollerskate skinny and the terrible two's 

How can you have everything and nothing to lose? 

You and nobody see eye to eye 

You're gonna wake up with a ghost instead of a guy 

Bulletin board on the wall of a church 

Soaking up the city from a top-step perch 

You're gonna break down on a midnight date 

You're gonna curse this town, you're gonna run late 

You're pretty as a penny 

Rollerskate skinny 

You're pretty as a penny 

Rollerskate skinny 

Do you want to meet up at the Pickwood Bowl? 

We could knock nine down and leave one in the hole 

Wouldn't be here if the Athenia hadn't sunk 

Or if dear 'ol dad hadn't got so drunk 

Every other day is a kick in the shin 

Every other day it's like the day just went 

But you make it alright, you make it okay 

You make me sorta glad that I waited till today 

You're pretty as a penny 

Rollerskate skinny 

You're pretty as a penny 

Rollerskate skinny 

Rollerskate skinny and the terrible two's 

Two years in and it's time to choose 

Love feels good when it sits right down 

Puts its feet up on the table it and sends a bowl around 

Ain't nobody gonna see eye to eye 

With a girl who's only gonna stand collarbone high 

Rain's gonna come in fair-sized drips 

We're gonna go to heaven wearing paper-hat ships 

You're pretty as a penny 

Rollerskate skinny 

You're pretty as a penny 

Rollerskate skinny 

I believe in love but it don't believe in 

I believe in love but it don't believe in me 

I believe in love but it don't believe in me 

No it don't believe in 

Don't believe in
